Man Utd v Stoke

by Timothy Masters

Man Utd take on Stoke on Monday 15th January, 2017, with kickoff at 20:00. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports.

If you wanted to pick a team to lose a game in recent weeks, Stoke were pretty much your nailed on option, playing as badly as any team at this level and looking unlikely to stage even a sliver of a comeback, but they have finally made a change. Sacking Mark Hughes was the first step to a brighter tomorrow for the Potters, but they are yet to find the man they want to replace the Welshman, meaning United will meet a group in transition.

You’d expect a team of United’s resource to win this, but that was true for most of the games they drew in December too, so who knows?
